October Reflection

In recollection’s hazy scene, I see my laughing boy hold out his hands to catch the bronze and topaz dancers as they fall. He watches in amazement as, ablaze, the last few leaves in waves unfolding, drop from sky to touch the waiting soil below. We witness geese inscribe the air, incise the clouds with secret code, in carefree flight engrave their winged designs on sky. I sense he’ll soar like them one day, or like a dancing leaf, drift over loam, and never  guess he’ll sever from the branch too soon. Sometimes the fields burned over grow much greener than the ones untouched  by fallen meteors and brilliant sons.
